Green Style: A Small Eco Footprint in Melbourne

This 93-square-meter home in Melbourne features an open layout, and a warm, light palette. All of the wood in the home is recycled ("Why cut down more trees?" says Misty, the owner.) While the whole home is lovely, the backyard deck is particularly enticing because of its multifunctionality: in addition to having enough space for 15 people (yay BBQ!), it also includes a bespoke clothesline, storage under the bench seats, and a 5,100-litre water tank, which provides water for the toilet, laundry and garden taps.
